Two women sitting in a buggy led by a horse on the grounds of Piru Mansion, in the community of Piru, Ventura County, California. The woman on the right is possibly Marguerite Cook, the wife of David C. Cook (homeowners). Title devised by cataloger. Identification made through cataloger research, based on notes by donor Ernest Marquez. Date range approximated by cataloger based on the year that film negatives came into use and the latest known dates indicated for other Hazard images in the Huntington's collection. This house was built in 1890 by David C. Cook and is now known as the Newhall Mansion after its purchase by Scott and Ruth Newhall. It has also been called the Piru Mansion or Cook Mansion. (Source: Newhall Mansion web site.) Identification of Marguerite Cook based on resemblance to other photographs of her.
